Chris Evans has been announced as People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2022.

Though the Captain America star is flattered by the title, he said there’s one person in particular who will be over the moon; his mum.

 “My mom will be so happy,” he told the publication. “She’s proud of everything I do but this is something she can really brag about.”

And, he wasn’t wrong. Evans’ mother told People “I am not surprised at all,” adding: “Our family will be beside themselves.”

During an interview with the publication to celebrate topping the list, Evans told said that he felt uncomfortable talking about the global recognition of his sex appeal.

“This whole thing is tough to be interviewed about,” he said. “It feels like a weird form of humble bragging.”

“Really this will just be a point of bullying,” he joked. “It’s ripe for harassment.”

The actor added that despite his good looks, he was never the “popular kid at school. “This would probably be the road to the cool table which I was not at.”

The 41 year old actor is currently single – as far as the public knows – but told People that he is hoping to have a wife and kids someday.
“That’s absolutely something I want,” he says, adding: “Some things you want just for you, or just for my family and my friends.
American actor Paul Rudd took out of the title of People’s sexiest man alive last year, and back in 2014, Australia’s own Chris Hemsworth held the title.
In April last year, Lizzo slid into Evan’s Instagram DM’s with a wind, female athlete and basketball emojis, implying she was “shooting her shot.” The singer shared a screenshot of her message on TikTok, telling her followers, “Don’t drink and DM, kids.”
However, Evans saw the funny side of the exchange, and replied to Lizzo directly, “No shame in a drunk DM 😘.”
